Trump Denies Negotiating Iran Nuclear Deal Similar to Obama

President Donald Trump strongly denied Senator Chris Coons's claim that the White House is considering a deal with Iran similar to the 2015 Obama-era nuclear agreement, the JCPOA. Trump emphasized on Truth Social that he is not offering Iran anything and is not engaged in talks, pointing to recent U.S. strikes that he said "totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear facilities. Coons had suggested that Trump was moving towards negotiations involving tens of billions of dollars in incentives and reduced sanctions to curb Iran's nuclear program, a claim Trump dismissed as fake news. Reports have surfaced that the Trump administration discussed potential sanctions relief and investment in Iran's civilian nuclear energy program, but Trump has denied direct U.S. funding and any current negotiations. The president reiterated his criticism of the Obama-era deal, calling it a "stupid road to a Nuclear Weapon," and highlighted his administration's military actions as a decisive contrast. This exchange underscores ongoing tensions and conflicting narratives regarding U.S. policy on Iran's nuclear ambitions.
